My answer

Addressed to: The City of Targossas


Targossas,

The ritual that was performed in your city is one necessary for Nature's growth. Rest assured that when your city crumbles as your last one did, Nature will reclaim it again. Further specifics are wasted upon you, I fear. Though the rare few who have an open mind are welcome to visit Eleusis and learn more of Nature.

You see, yours is an arrogant folk. You think of Nature, think of rocks and trees and write it off as an expendable part of your Creation, to be used or abused as you see fit. You are blind to what Nature really is, what She really embodies. Your ignorance, could be forgiven. Your baffling pride of this ignorance, can not.

Ever since we fought side by side during the Reckoning, and perhaps even before this, Targossians have come to us claiming we should be allies and friends. We have always questioned Targossas' understanding of what Nature is, and promised to put the city to the test one day, to see whether they would stand by Nature as they claim they would protect Creation... or trample it with hypocrisy and pride. The answer is now clear.

You have failed your test.

Now you beat your chests and write long letters, Dawnlord, and at the same time do nothing. You ban Eleusians, yet allow them back in if they kneel before you and denounce our actions. Arrogant. No military response, no attempt to fully understand what our actions were truly about. The saddest part is that this is not unexpected. When a Targossian murdered one of our Leath-ri within the Village itself, we did not cry out in anger on the public boards as you have.

There is no strength in the Dawnspear. Only aggression, apathy and ignorance. You demand an apology, but you will only receive a promise: These rituals will continue, or not, depending on our wishes. Try to stop us, and add your blood as sacrifice. Move against Nature or Eleusis, and we will colour your proud rivers red with your blood.

The Wilds are stirring. Hide within your walls while you still can.


Signed,

Alrena Winterhart
Speaker of Eleusis
